The Chinese Grand Prix was an utterly brilliant grand prix, there’s no doubt about that. In terms of Fantasy GP, very few (less than 1%) predicted a Rosberg pole position, even less backed him for the win and with so many drivers moving up and down the field with wheel-to-wheel battles a plenty there were loads of points to gained (and lost) as drivers progressed through the field.
Top 10 Scoring Drivers:
See which drivers scored the most points in China – notice how the improvement (bonus) points for Vettel’s drive from 11th to 5th helped make him the highest scoring driver for Shanghai in Fantasy GP.

Top 10 Fantasy GP Players:
Congratulations to ‘Alterno’ with their ‘Team Lucho’ taking victory in China, just a single point clear of the next best team. Here’s the championship table after China, the first proper race of the Fantasy GP season – it’s close at the top and with the unpredictable nature of the Chinese GP, the top scores are relatively low – compared to Australia where many had correct predictions with top scores being over 250points. It’s still all very much to play for and the next race is just days away, on Sunday in Bahrain.
